MATT & MACY COLLINS

The Magnolia Foundation

INTERNET PREMIERE

Matt and Macy Collins live in Cookeville, TN, and are the parents of three girls: Hattie, Lainey, and Davie. Matt and Macy founded the Magnolia Foundation, a nonprofit organization that serves families who have lost children. The Foundation was organized after the Collins family lost their oldest daughter, Hattie, when an EF4 twister slammed into the Cookeville area on March 3, 2020, killing five children and 14 adults.

Before their work with the Magnolia Foundation, Matt worked in full-time ministry, most recently at the Collegeside Church of Christ, while Macy worked in the Putnam County School System. Their hope with the Magnolia Foundation is to walk alongside those who experience child loss by helping to meet the practical and emotional needs of grieving parents.
